BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
This will be described using the embodiment shown in FIG.

1 to 7 relate to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the internal configuration of an oven toaster, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the internal configuration of the oven toaster, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the internal configuration of the oven toaster with the door open, FIG. 4 is a side view showing the state where the shelf and the pattern board are separated in FIG. 3, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the shelf alone with the pattern board removed, and FIG. 7 is a partial front view showing a state where the pattern board is attached to the shelf.

In FIG. 1, A indicates the entire oven toaster, and a door 2 is attached to the front surface of a case 1 so as to be openable in a front-down state. Heating chamber 3 inside case 1
, A shelf 4 is provided in a substantially horizontal posture, a lower heater 5 is provided below the shelf 4, an upper heater 6 is provided above the shelf 4, and a reflector 7 is provided on the back wall. In addition,
A timer device (not shown) is provided inside one side of the case 1, and a timer lever 8 is provided on one side of the door 2 on the front surface of the case 1.

The shelf 4 has a rectangular frame 4a formed by bending a wire such as a wire, and a plurality of wires 4b such as a wire between two opposite front and rear sides of the frame 4a at a predetermined interval in parallel with each other. It has a erected configuration. The above-described wire rod 4b is bent so as to undulate in a sine curve shape in the longitudinal direction thereof, and has an upward chevron bent portion 4c and a downward valley bent portion 4d. As shown in FIG. 4, in each of these wires 4b, two angled bent portions 4c at required positions are provided.
Is formed flat. In addition, this shelf 4
When the door 2 is opened, the door 2 is pulled out of the case 1 in conjunction therewith. For this purpose, the front side of the frame 4 a of the shelf 4 is provided with locking pieces 2 provided on both sides of the door 2.
a, 2a, and engaging pieces 4e, 4e provided at both rear portions of the rectangular frame 4a are movably engaged along guide holes 1a, 1a provided on both side walls of the case 1. It is hooked on the support bar 9.

On the upper surface of the shelf 4, a pattern board 10 having a pattern of an animal face, flowers, characters, symbols, etc. as shown in the figure is detachably attached.

The pattern board 10 has a thickness of 0.5 to 0.5, for example.
It is formed by punching a metal plate of 1.2 mm, preferably 0.8 mm, such as a stainless steel material, by pressing using a pattern mold as described above, and the pattern is formed by various holes and cutouts. ing. Strip-shaped protruding pieces 10b extending downward are provided at four separate places of the main body 10a of the pattern plate 10.
In the middle of 0b, a bent portion 10c having a V-shape is provided so as to be hooked on the wire 4b of the shelf 4. Further, all edges of the pattern plate 10 are rounded.

Here, the procedure for attaching and detaching the pattern board 10 to and from the shelf 4 will be described. First, when attaching the pattern board 10,
It is only necessary to press the pattern board 10 downward from above the shelf 4. However, at this time, the projecting piece 10b of the pattern board 10 is
Two wires 4 on both sides sandwiching two adjacent wires 4b
Apply inside b. The bending force 10c of the protruding piece 10b and the two flat chevron-shaped bending parts 4c of the two wires 4b are once elastically bent by the above-described pressing force, respectively, so that the protruding piece 10b 4b, and when the bent portion 10c of the protruding piece 10b passes through the protruding piece 10b, the two resiliently return to each other.
The bent portion 10c of FIG. 2b is hooked on the two flat angled bent portions 4c of the two wires 4b, thereby preventing the pattern board 10 from falling out.

When removing the pattern board 10, it is only necessary to lift the pattern board 10 upward. The projecting piece 10b of the pattern board 10 and the wire 4
b is elastically bent so that the protruding piece 10b passes over the wire 4b, and the pattern plate 10 comes off.

Next, an example of use of the oven toaster A will be described. Here, a mode of baking bread is described as an example.

That is, by opening the door 2, the shelf 4 on which the pattern board 10 is mounted is pulled out. This shelf 4
The bread is placed on the pattern board 10 on the upper surface of the door, and the door 2 is closed. Then, the upper and lower heaters 5 and 6 are driven for a required time by a timer device, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the bread are scorched and baked. At this time, the pattern plate 10 is in contact with the lower surface of the bread so as to shield the radiant heat from the lower heater 5, so that the area hidden by the pattern plate 10 on the lower surface of the bread does not burn. The area around becomes scorched. For this reason,
The non-burnt shape of the pattern board 10 appears as a pattern due to the surrounding burnt.

In particular, in this embodiment, the bread is not provided with an unnecessary unburned pattern other than the unburned pattern by the pattern plate 10.

That is, since the wire 4b of the shelf 4 is wavy up and down, the bread is supported at the top of the angled bent portion 4c of the wire 4b, and the wire 4b is separated from the bread and a gap is formed between them. As a result, the radiant heat from the lower heater 5 wraps around the gap above the wire 4b, and it is not necessary to leave unburnt portions, such as shadows of the wire 4b, on the lower surface of the bread. Similarly, even if the wire 4b of the shelf 4 is located in a region where a hole or a cutout provided in the pattern board 10 is present, the wire 4b is wavy up and down, and the wire 4b is Since the holes and cutouts 10 are not closed, the radiant heat from the lower heater 5 goes around to the space above the wire 4b, so that no burnt spot like the shadow of the wire 4b is formed on the lower surface of the bread. I'm done. As described above, the unburned residue in the shape of the pattern plate 10 can be cleanly formed on the lower surface of the bread, and the area around the unburned residue can be evenly burned.

In the above embodiment, the pattern board 10
Is detachable, so that if various pattern boards 10 having different patterns are prepared, the pattern board 10 of a desired pattern can be freely attached to the shelf 4 so that various kinds of scorch marks are formed on the bread. You can do more and have more fun. Moreover, since the edge part of the pattern board 10 is rounded and chamfered, when the pattern board 10 becomes dirty,
When you remove it and wash it, you do not cut your hands.

Note that the present invention is not limited to only those described in the above embodiment, and various applications and modifications are conceivable. For example, the shape of the pattern board 10 and the bent shape of the wire 4b of the shelf 4 are not particularly limited. Also, the frame 4 of the shelf 4
Also, a need not be rectangular, but may be only two parallel wires.

[0026]

According to the present invention, it is possible to make a non-burnt residue in the form of a pattern plate on the lower surface of the object to be heated such as bread and toast it. In particular, the bread is lifted up from the shelf for the thickness of the pattern plate to form a required gap between the plurality of wire rods on the shelf and the bread, so that the radiant heat from the lower heater can easily flow to the gap. Because of this, the shape of the wire is less likely to remain like a shadow, and the periphery of the pattern plate can be scorched evenly, and as a result, the unburned shape of the pattern plate can be emphasized, resulting in a beautiful finish become able to.

[0027] In the second aspect, since so that a gap is provided between the bread and the wire by bending the wire shelves vertically, similarly to the above, as the shape of the wire material of the shadow It is difficult to remain, and the periphery of the pattern plate can be evenly scorched.

Further, in the third aspect , since the pattern board is detachable, if various pattern boards are prepared, various types of unburned patterns can be formed on one side of the bread according to preference. And the usability is improved.
